After Dawn Chapter 101: Strength (2)

"Help! Life! Ah-"

A loud cry for help suddenly sounded, and Qin Tianyuan, who was walking on the road, was taken aback for a moment. After quickly judging the direction, like a nimble cheetah, he followed the direction of the sound and ran quickly.

……

"Master, you are amazing!"

"Master, you must be a congenital expert, right? It's the kind my grandfather said, a congenital expert who can go to heaven and earth and be omnipotent."

"Master, do you need an apprentice? He's good-looking and obedient, he can wash clothes and cook, and he can act like a spoiled child and scold others."

"Master, are all masters as cold as you? Is it possible that after becoming a master, you can't say too much, and you don't appear to be powerful enough?"

"If I become as good as you in the future, won't I be able to speak? Oh... how uncomfortable it is to hold back and not speak..."

"I'm not your master." Qin Tianyuan looked at the teenagers jumping around him, and only felt the pain in his temples. When he faced off against the Heavenly Emperor and was besieged by thousands of masters, he didn't feel it. Such a headache. He didn't understand, how could this kid have so much to say, and the chatter along the way would never end, "I'm just an ordinary person, not a master, don't pester me."

"Master, you are so humble!" The young man looked at him with admiration on his face, his eyes were shining brightly, "That big white worm, so big—" He stretched out his hand in an embracing gesture , "So fierce——" He gestured with his teeth and claws: "If ordinary people can beat it, then I don't need to call for help."

Qin Tianyuan glanced at him lightly: "It's not that you can't beat it, it's just that you're afraid before you fight."

He didn't mean that the demon tiger just now could be beaten by an ordinary person, but he could see at a glance that this young man was not ordinary. The young man shouted his admiration for the innate masters. In fact, Qin Tianyuan frowned. If he was not mistaken, this young man also has innate cultivation, but it seems that he himself does not know, or is it I don't know how to use my abilities.

However, what he finds strange is that this young man's cultivation is solid, unlike the cultivation that others have poured into him. He obviously cultivated it step by step by himself. Seeing that he is only 13 or 14 years old, although he is with him In comparison, it is really not a talent, but within the scope of ordinary people, oh, that is, normal people, it is already considered a genius.

"How is that possible!" The young man said in surprise, "Although I have a lot of strength since I was a child, the big white worm—" He exaggeratedly said, "That is a monster that my grandfather can't beat!"

"Master, Master, just accept me as your apprentice."

Qin Tianyuan avoided talking about it. He had no idea of ​​accepting an apprentice as a drag: "This world is so chaotic, you are a child, what are you running out of?"

"Apprentice!" The young man said with a look of course, "I originally planned to go to Wu'anmen to apprentice, if I am attracted by the masters in the sect, I will become a disciple of the outer sect and learn some secrets. The martial arts are back, but now I have met Master and went to his Wu'anmen."

Wu'anmen? Qin Tianyuan searched the memory in his mind and didn't have much impression of this sect. He thought that either the sect had changed too much in the past ten thousand years, or it was a small sect that was not very famous. It seems that this young man worships a congenital master. For the sake of it, if you want to come to Wu'anmen, you should not be too powerful: "Where is Wu'anmen, I don't have anything to do anyway, I'll take you there."

"Don't, Master." The boy hurriedly stopped and said, "I have already worshipped you as my teacher, how can I go to Wu'anmen again?"

"I don't accept apprentices." Qin Tianyuan said with a frown, "No matter how much you pester me, I won't teach you anything."

"Oh..." After receiving this reply, the young man looked a little lost, kicked the stone under his feet, and then pointed in a direction: "Grandpa said, keep walking along the east, and after half a year's effort, you will be able to reach the Wu'anmen."

Qin Tianyuan silently broke his hand in one direction: "This is the East."

The teenager's eyes widened suddenly: "What? Did I go wrong all the time?"

"How do you judge the south, east, north and west?" Qin Tianyuan asked speechlessly.

"Grandpa said that the place with the sun is the east."

"The sun rises and sets."

"Huh? Is that so? I seem to have misremembered..."

“…”

"How long have you been gone?"

"It's been a month."

"Do you remember the way back?"

The teenager shook his head in frustration.

Qin Tianyuan felt that his grandfather had to have a great heart to let such a young child go out by himself and go to apprenticeship for the first half of the year.

"Aren't your family worried?" With this ability to recognize the way, I am afraid that at home, I will often get lost.

"There's no one in my house." The boy whispered, bowed his head, and followed behind him with a low expression.

"Where's your grandpa?" he asked.

"Grandpa is dead," the boy replied. "The monsters attacked. In order to protect the villagers, Grandpa died..."

Qin Tianyuan felt that something was wrong behind him. As soon as he turned his head, the boy's lowered head slammed into his chest. He didn't move, and the boy didn't move. On his face, two bright and clean traces were washed out by tears.

He suddenly understood why the boy's grandfather asked him to go to Wu'anmen to apprentice.

It is estimated that he also knows the young man's ability to recognize the way, and also guesses that with the young man alone, I am afraid that he will not be able to reach Wu'anmen in ten or eight years, but he must always give the young man a place to live and find him a place to go. The place.

"Where are the villagers?" As soon as he said that, he knew he had asked the wrong question again.

"There are too many monsters, and my grandfather can't stop them. He told me to take the villagers up the mountain, but when my grandfather died, the monsters chased after him..."

"The village chief grandpa said, I run fast and young, and told me to go first and come back to avenge them..."

"Niu Gu said that my grandfather is a master and a great hero, and I will also be able to become a master in the future, saying that if I don't leave, everyone will not be able to leave, it is better to make their sacrifices more meaningful, let me run quickly and go to Wu'an When I become a master, I will save more people and be a hero like my grandfather..."

"Don't cry," Qin Tianyuan hesitated for a while, put his hand on his head, and comforted: "You will definitely become a hero."

"No! I'm a coward..." The boy said hoarsely, "I was afraid of death, so I ran away. I watched the village chief and they were killed by monsters. I didn't dare to look back. Listening to their wailing, I heard the baby's cry, but I only dared to run..."

"I'm a coward..."

"I can't even recognize the road, and I'll never be a hero."

"Don't cry anymore, I'll accept you as my apprentice." As soon as he said that, Qin Tianyuan instantly felt a little regretful, because the boy who had been crying out of breath one second, the next second He raised his head in surprise.

"Really?"

Looking at those brighter eyes washed by tears, Qin Tianyuan couldn't say what he refused. He could see that the boy's previous emotions were not disguised, every tear he shed indeed contained his remorse, and the grief in his eyes did not really dissipate, but was deeply hidden. .

"Fake," he said sarcastically.

Looking at the boy's flat mouth and dark eyes, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"A gentleman speaks quickly, how can I deceive you, this yellow-haired child."

"Hehe, I knew I was so cute, Master will definitely recognize me as an apprentice," the young man leaned up with a smile on his face, and naturally put his hands on his shoulders and kneaded: "Master used to fight bugs before. It must be very hard, the apprentice has learned a good technique of one-handed massage, why don't I give you a massage to relax..."

Qin Tianyuan's body froze for a moment, then he relaxed again, and got rid of his hand uncomfortably, and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Qing Ran, my surname is Qing Ran and my name is Ran! Qing is the one who lives up to the Tathagata's reputation, of course, of course!" The boy immediately reported his name.

"Qingran, Qingran...why does it sound like the name Niangxi?" Qin Tianyuan muttered to himself, he thought his voice was very small, how could he know that his bell-like voice could lower his tone , but also let the people behind him understand.

Qing Ran pouted and said in a low voice, "People are girls..."

"What are you muttering in the back alone?"

"I'm curious, what's your name, Master? No, no, bah, bah... It should be your famous name, Master, do you have a majestic name? Hehe..." She said with a flattering smile: " If you go out in the future, you can also report the name of the master is not..."

Name? A majestic name? Qin Tianyuan frowned and thought about it carefully, what did those people call him back then?

Kill God? Ghostly worry? Still...

A series of names appeared in my mind, but he finally rejected them by shaking his head one by one. No, these names are too bloody.

"My teacher is just an ordinary person, with no name, no name in the world, and not many people remember me."

"No name?" The boy said with a look of surprise, when Qin Tianyuan couldn't figure out why he was so happy, he saw him say obsessively: "Grandpa said, there are thousands of talented people in the world, But the most powerful ones are generally not the ones with the most frightening names, and those who are unwilling to reveal their real names and who see through the vicissitudes of the world are the real masters.”

"Because they have seen too many things, they have had too much fame and fortune, they have gained too many things that ordinary people can't get, and they have lost too many things that ordinary people can't give up, so for them, the so-called name , are all clouds."

"They long to be an ordinary person, to live an ordinary life like an ordinary person, and to have the joys, sorrows and sorrows of an ordinary person. Although they have superhuman abilities, they are very lonely inside."

Qin Tianyuan glanced high at the young man, but did not expect him to have such a cognition at such a young age.

"It's all what my grandfather said, isn't my grandfather very good?" Qing Ran said with a look of pampering.

Qin Tianyuan decided to retract his opinion of the boy, it seems that he must have a very powerful grandfather.
